‘Use it or lose it’ deadline is Dec. 31 

Employees are reminded that there is a one-year, carry-over limit on accrued vacation time. The “use-it-or-lose-it” date is Dec. 31.

Employees cannot carry over beyond this date more than the number of annual vacation days for which they are currently eligible. If work or medical conditions prohibit the employee from taking their accrued vacation by Dec. 31, the chief administrator of that division can request an extension of one additional year. The chief administrator and the employee must make every effort to schedule and use the accrued vacation in the coming year as additional extensions will not be permitted.

Contact a Human Resources team member or call 210-431-3970 for more information.

Christmas holiday payroll update

For the pay period Dec. 2-15, the deadline for supervisors to approve time sheets will be on Monday, Dec. 18, at 10 a.m.

Due to the Christmas holiday schedule, hourly staff employees are reminded that if they are taking any vacation days prior to the holiday break, they must input their vacation and holiday hours into Self-Service Time Entry and submit for approval before departing.

Before departing for the Christmas break, biweekly staff employees will need to Enter all their holiday hours for Dec. 22–29 into Self-Service Time Entry and Submit for approval.  This is because Payroll will have tight deadlines when returning from the break.  Also, the supervisor’s deadline to approve timesheet(s) will be moved to 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 3, to approve timesheet(s).

 Any missed days will not be paid until Jan 19, 2024.

 Please contact Payroll for any questions.
